toad is dead

We are in the middle of vacation and the vehicle we tow...dead. seems buying something else better then new engine. Want to tow four down with little to no modifications. Suggestions please. We had a standard tracker 4x4. An automatic would be nice but not necessary.

Thanks signed bummed at campground

    jeep. no mods needed, no time/speed/distance restrictions. makes for a perfect toad. most can...just be sure the specific model can be flat towed. if the transfer case has a *manually selectable* neutral position it can be flat towed.

    Not just 4x4 but 4x4 WITH MANUAL TRANSFER CASE

    their new all wheel drive with electronic transfer and clutches can not be towed 4 down. 2 down, or any other way, Must be trailered or flat-bedded.. Source: Jeep 2014 Liberty owner's manual.


    :S The question was not about Jeeps. OP has/had a Chevrolet Tracker. He's asking what vehicles can be towed 4 down.
